Science pioneered at Seattle-based Allen Institute will blast off into orbit on May 21. The NASA-funded experiment will study a collection of stem cells provided by the Allen Institute for Cell Science, a division of the Allen Institute. FOX13
The astronauts will be using reprogrammed stem cells from human skin, part of the Allen Cell Collection. One goal of this study is to evaluate how the cells react in a reduced or zero gravity environment. The research could help scientists like Roberts and his team take their studies to unbelievable heights.
The astronauts will be aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket. Their discoveries, as well as those of Cedars-Sinai, could break new ground in the efficiency of stem cell production for research, and ultimately for medical applications that may use cells for therapy, like repairing cardiac tissue after a heart attack, for example.
